By the bucket load mike :wink

Just feathers Baz, or do you use oiler puffs too? I might have a possible source for high quality product :wink
I'd probably have to choose between feathers and puffs.
Cheers
Mike

Iam not that educated enough to know whether they are puffs or feathers , i guess feathers!

Hi Mike,
I use a lot of CDC feathers tying dries, using the Marc Petitjean method. I have never tried the puffs however - too fiddly for me!
Peter
-
I've used the puffs before and found them very easy to use for wings and posts etc, probably not much use for spinning/dubbing though.
The product appears to be excellent, but I'm not sure it's my thing, as it doesn't really go with fly lines and I'm not a fly tying specialist :z6
Cheers
Mike

I might get some to sell in the hut though :z17 ....... What are your favourite colours guys?
Cheers
Mike
-
Beige or Grey for me Mike :wink
-
Like Bigtroot, I prefer the more natural colours.
Peter

Thanks for the feedback guys ..... natural it is then :z16

When you reckon you will be selling Mike, and what was the price per bag??

Hi Baz :z16
Have been trying to take product photos today, but it hasn't been easy to get them right. Hope to have them on the site within a couple of days, but I can sell them via PM already and take payment via Paypal if you need some in a hurry :wink
Price will be £4 per bag and there will be a special offer for forum members ...... when you order 3 bags of CDC, a forum member can choose a 4th bag 'FOC' by sending me a PM and asking for the colour that they would like for their free pack.
Best wishes

Pm on the way Mike :z16

I'll get a list out in a day or two Mike.

Hi Mike
I have been tying a few flies with CDC recently, hopefully tomorrow I will post a photo of a tape wing caddis that looks as though it should work well.
This is a new fly to me this winter, I will have to wait until next spring / summer to see what the trout make of them.
regards
Kevin.
-
Great stuff Kevin .... I look forward to seeing that :z16
Best wishes
Mike

Hi Baz :z16
Nice flies, very nice! ..... Thanks for posting them :cool:
I'm really pleased that you like the new product too :wink
Best wishes
Mike
-
Nice flies Baz. Good to see you got home for xmas :z18
-
Nice flies as always Baz, good to see you made it home after seeing the pics from the rig not long back.
The CDC is nice, Mike brought the box over a few weeks back and the pics on the site don't do the colour justice IMHO. Some of them are really cool, very cheap (probably too cheap) at £4 per bag. Personally hate the stuff and rarely use it apart from in a few particular circumstances but in those circumstances I would not want to be without a CDC dry.
Cheers
Ben

Great stuff guys :z16
The CDC is now on the www.flylineshop.com (http://www.flylineshop.com) website too, as I've been giving that site a bit of a revamp :cool:
Cheers

Agreed, my order arrived this morning (uber quick delivery Mr B :shock) and a preliminary check through the bags shows very vibrant colours, very nice indeed :cool:

Certainly cheaper than the smaller packs I have in my fly tying room..... very good value for money.
